orv EAsT PHOTOGRAPIIC APPARATUS,

Specification of Letters Patent.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Hanny CONRAD Henin, a 4citizen of the United States, residinv' at New `York city, in the count)r of New lori; and State of New York, have 'invented certain' new and useful Improvements in Photographic Apparatus, of which the following is a specication, reference being had tothe accompanying drawings.

My invention relates to` improvements in photographic apparatus; and an object of my invention is to providea series of photographs some of which will be distorted.

Another objectof my invention is to pro-l vide an apparatus of the character described which will be simple in construction, comparatively cheap 1n manufacture and etlicient and durable in use.

In the drawingsillustrating the principle ot' my invention and the best mode now known to me of applying that principle,

Fioure 1 is an elevation iartl in section of so much of a photographic apparatus as is Vnecessary to illustrate my invention; Fig. 2

is a-view looking to the right iii-Fig. 1;

dfig. 3 is a detail showing the plane mirror and its rotatmg dev1ce;'1"1g. t shows a card upon which are a series of photographs of the saine individual as taken by my new apparatus; F10'. 5 shows my new apparatus `equipped with a` camera for taking moving through one ot' the slots' d and are engaged Y by thumb-nuts g. The latter serve to clam the hinged bottom of the housing'm a f, justed position. The casing'a is sup orted by -a pedestal li, upon which rests a U- aped bracket z'. The arms y' of the latter extend upwardly on each side of the casing a and through the upper end of each arm and the lateral wall e of the casing adjacent thereto passes a. threaded stud` k, the outerend of f I f which is engaged by the tluunbuiut. m. lhe

arrangement just described permits the casing a toswing 2in thearms j and to be clamped 1n ad )usted position by the thumbnuts m. l`lie front end of the casing a is Yopen and in it. is slidably mounted a. carrier-plate n formed with a central hole 0 through which )asses 'a shaft p Vupon the outer' end of which is formed inte turn-knob or disk Q. The carrier-p ate -n is slidab'le iii theI casing a and its inward travel is limited by -the flange 7'. Fast to 'the inner end of the shaft p is a mirror' carrier s, in which is mounted a curved mirror t. Journaled in the sides e of the` casing a. is a shaft u,- one end of which is provided with a turn-knob v. Upon' the shaftu is mounted a plane mirror w, which may be turned upwardly, as is shown in Fig. 1 and held by the catch The casing` a is formed with an opening yV in which is placed the lens z" of a. camera z supported' by the easing il.

In taking pictures with the'apparatus just described, thc plate n is moved outwardly t'ar enough to allow the lower end of the .plane mirror 'ir to 'rest against the shoulder r. With the apparatus so adjusted, the nori'nal photogilistalif'he plaiiiifor -ir is now urned upwardly and fastened by the catch Z. The.carrienplate n is moved iinvardly against the flange )uso that thef curved mii-roet now reflects a distorted figure into the camera. Upon the central por-- 4 tion of' the same photographic plate or negative is taken the y distorted photograph marked iuliig. -L' The disk q is now turned, turning with it. the shaft p and the luiiirror-carrier s, thereby bringingr the curved mirror z. at right angles toits tormer position. llpou tliesaiue photographic plate or negative is now taken the distorted photo- 95 .y

'graph marked 23 in Fig. l.. It will be under-- stood that the photographs shown indlfjmiilfare of the saine person.

The arrangement shown in. Fig. 6 is for taking full-lcngth figures and comprises a .-i-housing 'a' in which is mounted a slidable support n., ln the latter is journaled a. shatt 1), upon which is mounted the mirrorcarrier s. The curved mirror t' is of a size sufficiently large to reflect the full length of the body of the subject into the camera .2.

Tn Fig. 7, a street corner stand is shown consisting ot' a platform base -l mounted on roller-casters 5 and supporting the standards (it. The latt are held stiflly iii position by Patented oet. 11,'1'910. Application filed February 13, 1909. Serial No. 477,794. l

the braces 7. The casinor a carries 011 each f side a sleeve-bracket 8 and a set-screw 9, the -latter lioldingar the casing a in adJust-ed' position. Upon the top ofthe casing afis' mounted a ca1nera\z. I

In Figs. 8 and 9,--tl1e lower part ot the mirror 1s`covered by' a card 10 having-printed thereon a. fanciful body design'. In thisA case only the head of the subject is reflected into the camera. v

I'claim:

l. In ',an apparatus'of the character de.

scribed, the combination with a suitable casi ing and a'caniera mounted therein; of means for redecting a distorted image into said camera; said means being rotatable to vary l said distorted image.

riedl by said casinof' 4. Aphotograpliic apparatus consisting of a' 'asing provided With a top and a bottoni whicli'are relatively movable; a camera earb, and a rotary curved mirror carried by said casing and adapted to retlectinto said camera. y

5. A photographicI apparatus consisting ofa casingI provided With a camera; and a rotary curved mirror adapted to reflect distorted .images into said camera and carried by said casing. f

ti. A photographic apparatus consistnigr of a casing provided `with a camera; a'planc mirror carried by said casing and adapted' to reflect normal images i'iitofsaid-camera; and a curved mirror carried by said casing and 4ai'lapted to reflect 'distorted images of' the saine subject into said camera; said Inirroi-s being arranged to be thrown into and oii'to't active position alternately.
